Hi! My name is Kyle and I’m one of the Registered Massage Therapists here at South Island Physiotherapy. My goal is to help improve and optimize your physical health—which also happens to be one of the most effective ways to reduce stress and improve well-being. One method in which we will achieve this is manual therapy, which includes deep tissue and Swedish massage, stretching, joint mobilizations and active techniques that require some participation. Maintaining and improving function long-term, however, requires one or both of the following: specific strengthening or activity modification.My personal experiences with “overuse” injuries from running, cycling, and professional cooking coupled with my education and experience as an RMT make me well-equipped to provide advice when it comes to building your body’s inherent capacity to endure life’s challenges and continue doing what you love. I’m also always happy to chat about the fascinating nature of the human body—especially anything about muscles!

Hi! My name is Gabby and I am one of the Physical Therapists here at South Island Physiotherapy. Throughout my volunteer and clinical experience I have worked with people of all ages and physical abilities gaining experience with orthopedic injuries of all types.

I would be happy to work with you to discuss your concerns, identify what is affecting your limitations, and work collaboratively with you to develop your individualized treatment program focusing on your unique personal goals.

Hi there! My name is Keaton Eccleston, and I am one of the Kinesiologists here at South Island Physio.

I have always had an interest in pain and injuries and I understand both personally and professionally how big of an impact they have on our lives. It is because of this I decided to get my bachelor’s in Kinesiology to help people become active again.

With the many treatment options for pain, exercise remains one of the most evidence based approached to recover from and reduce the occurrence of injury. Although it is a power tool in your arsenal, the process can sometimes feel the most daunting.

Exercise and Training can be intense and at times uncomfortable. It is our opportunity to seek durable change in our bodies response to the world around us and that takes a curious mind and a courageous spirit. It is my job to guide your process, keep it fun and clarify their importance.

In an initial session with me, people can expect to discuss their unique exercise goals, create a plan of action that meets their needs, and perform physical assessments to provide structure and clarity on your process of becoming an independent and resilient you!

If I can make exercise fun for you while progressing your recovery journey, I have done my job.

Make your move!

Hi, I’m Hannah and I have a passion for helping people live a happy healthy life! It’s one of the many reasons I became an RMT. Sessions with me include deep tissue work, myofascial release, joint mobilizations, active modalities, and therapeutic exercises tailored to your unique needs. I believe the benefit of massage therapy not only comes from the treatment provided but from helping you cultivate a deeper understanding of how the body is adaptable and resilient to stress. It is through this combination of body work and education that we empower you to reclaim your best life! I am an active member of the running community through volunteering as a run clinic leader, organizing local races, and working at Frontrunners Footwear and I leverage these skills in the treatment room. When I’m not helping people through injury, I can be found trail running with my dog, cycling, climbing, and gardening.

Hi, my name is Kaitlyn and I am one of the physiotherapists at South Island Physiotherapy.

Too often during my sessions people share with me that activity avoidance is recommended by their medical professionals to avoid pain or symptoms. This may be temporarily effective but it is my experience that life is too short to compromise on what you enjoy. I believe there is always to get back to creating a happy and fulfilling life.

My job is to help you bridge the gap between what you can do now and what you want to be doing. With careful testing, planning, tolerance building, retesting and a bit of patience and persistence we can work to return to your preferred activities. Your job is to come with a goal, ask questions and put in some work!

One of my main professional interests is the female athlete through her lifespan. I have taken post-graduate courses in pelvic health including incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain conditions and pregnancy and postpartum exercise focused on fitness athletes. I have also taken courses in spinal manipulation, functional dry needling and pain science. I like to do Crossfit and weightlifting in my spare time and incorporate these principles into my practice which means that active rehabilitation is a big part of my treatments.

So whether you are struggling with shoulder pain during snatches, peeing with skipping, wanting to learn how to brace appropriately for weightlifting, or have questions about what you can do for an active and safe pregnancy and postpartum, I am here to help you!

Hi there! My name is Arianna, and I am one of the physiotherapists here at South Island Physio.

I have experienced injuries and pain over the years myself, so I understand how discouraging it can be when we feel limited to participate in activities that bring us joy. My role is to show up curious, work with you to identify your goals, and guide you along the way. Your role is to show up and be willing to put in some work, and together we’ll make a plan to bring your body back to its confident, capable and thriving self.

Physiotherapists are teachers as much as we are healers and I aim to not only help you feel better but empower you with knowledge to move through your injury and get you back to an active lifestyle. Whether that is lifting your grandchildren or setting a personal best in your sport; it’s these moments of success that I’m interested in.

My journey in this role started with completing my Bachelor of Kinesiology here in Victoria. I then decided to combine my interest in movement and the body with my love of travel, and moved to Ireland where I completed my Masters of Physiotherapy with honours distinction.

When I’m not working, you can find me moving in various ways. I love hiking, weight lifting, doing yoga and walking for hours exploring new places and finding amazing food around the world. Thanks for taking the time to learn a little about me and I look forward to getting to know more about you as we get you back to thoughtless, fearless movement!
